Sydney Moser’s 15th place effort earned her all-conference honors. The senior ran a time of 23:15.6, in just her first race of the season due to injury.

In addition to Schellhorn, MFL MarMac also boasted two other top-20 finishers, with junior Will Koether (left) placing 18th at 19:48.2 and freshman Tucker Ruff right behind him in 19th, after running the course in 19:51.2.

Abby Schellhorn came in 18th at the conference meet.
